13 Sep 2017 – <\/em>Upbraiding the ESPN anchor Jemele Hill for calling Donald Trump a \u201cwhite supremacist,\u201d the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said on Wednesday that \u201cno one has done more than President Trump to prove that white people are not superior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s grossly unfair that Ms. Hill sought to portray Donald Trump as an upholder of white supremacy, when everything he says or does directly undermines that whole concept,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cAnyone who thinks that Donald Trump is on some mission to make white people look good hasn\u2019t been paying attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders urged the ESPN anchor to \u201cdo her homework\u201d on Trump before making baseless allegations. \u201cRead his tweets,\u201d she said. \u201cListen to his speeches. If you still think Donald Trump is trying to prove that white people are superior, I tip my hat to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ending on a personal note, Sanders said that she was \u201ca hundred-per-cent sure\u201d that her boss is not a white supremacist. \u201cDonald Trump cannot even spell the word \u2018supremacist,\u2019 \u201d she said.<\/p>\n
